Which means that ATMs which serve two or more denominations may run out of one denomination before the others. So £5 notes can stop suddenly because they run out. However, a lot of the ATMs in this part of the world switched from £5/£10 to £10/£20 because inflation meant that average amount withdrawn had increased to the point they needed to be refilled too frequently. The £5/£10/£20 machines are rare and tend to be at banks, where they can be refilled more quickly. The problem with mapping denominations is not that a machine may run out of one denomination, that's a temporary thing. The problem is that a £5/£10 machine may be upgraded or replaced to dispense £10/£20. Or a £10/£20 may be changed to £20/£50. How often that happens depends upon the rate of inflation in that part of the world. It's definitely useful to know, but the information may go stale too quickly and be verified/remapped too infrequently. I'm in two minds about the utility of mapping this. however people still often request cashback due to the fact it saves the > extra trip (and the closest ATM is difficult to troubleshoot if it goes down > There is one shop where I specifically request cashback even though it has an ATM mounted in the wall outside. My bank has a loyalty scheme whereby the online banking system presents me with discounts at certain shops (as a way of encouraging people to use the online banking). Every time this shop appears I use it. And then get 5% off my payment for electricity top-up, phone top-up, mains water charges, gas bill and cashback. I wouldn't use that shop for any other thing as it's a convenience store and more expensive than the local supermarket. But whenever I can get £50 cashback for £47.50 and cheaper gas, electricity and mains water, I leap at the chance.
